You’re one of thousands of PayPal users suffering from a known issue that PayPal is desperately trying to resolve, even as I type. Until that resolution has been implemented, PayPal recommends this temporary fix – modify your ‘host’ file – here’s how:

1. Start Notepad.exe as Administrator (right click the Notepad application icon, and choose “Run as Administrator”).
2. In Notepad, choose File > Open and browse to this location -  C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
3. On the page that opens, copy and past the following text into the last line of that file: 127.0.0.1 102.112.2o7.net
4. Save the file. Close Notepad.
5. Close Outlook, if you didn’t previously. Reopen Outlook – all should be well!

Reports are coming in to the shop that a gentleman with a middle-eastern accent is calling people across the Mat-Su Valley, notifying folk that he has identified a virus on their computer, which he will repair for you if you’ll just ‘follow these simple steps’ to allow him to remote in to your computer.

This gentleman even called us here at the ITS Alaska Computer Services office! Consequently, I can tell you that his caller ID shows:
MB Enterprises at a number 786-439-0853.
